Tip. 1  Trim boxwood hedges a few times during the growing season to prevent damage to the plant. 2  Thin out boxwood hedges to keep them in their natural state.  Consider making the top of the hedge slightly thinner than the bottom to allow more sunlight and moisture to reach the lower branches.
Physical symptoms that may occur prior to a period include abdominal pain and bloating, tender breasts, headaches, swelling of the hands or feet, nausea and weight gain. Pain in the joints or back can also occur before a period begins. Cramps, which can be painful, signifies that menstrual bleeding is imminent.
Look for signs of your first period. First, your breasts will start to develop, and hair may begin to grow in the pubic area (between your legs) and in your armpits. During this time you may notice a whitish discharge from your vagina. This is normal. A few months after that, you'll likely start your first period.
